2017 CDA- HERE WE GO!!!
HOWDY AMAZING IM CDA RACERS!!
Can you believe it?? HERE WE ARE! I am PUMPED to join you on this journey as your Race Captain! Please know I am HERE FOR YOU. This will be my second year as Race Captain and I am excited to revamp and make these weekly posts even more valuable to you. If you have questions, comments, concerns, need some venting time- whatever! SEND IT MY WAY! This week let’s get some of the administrative homework out of the way.
On Social Media? Follow, Share, Spread the word about training with EN using #EN4Keys and tagging us on all platforms:
Twitter - @teamen ---- Instagram - @teamendurancenation ------ Facebook - www.facebook.com/endurancenation
Use email friend@endurancenation.us to get a friend to train with you and EN (they get 30 days FREE and you can earn referral bonuses)
Nudge all current EN members that you know are racing IM CDA to chime in on the weekly forums
Our new and improved Forums are amazing so make sure you bookmark the threads to check in weekly!! Check the box to follow the entire IM CDA forum so you don't miss a single announcement
Friend Mariah Bridges and me on Facebook so that we can tag you in pictures and race recaps the week after your race on the EN page
Your training hashtag is #EN4Keys and of course tag us if you wish, let’s tell the world!
Charge all your swim, bike and run electronics, tune up that bike, stretch out those legs and prepare that mental game and order the nutrition you need because we are about to dive head first into EN training.
Every Sunday night I will post the weekly forum with the training dates, some mojo, advice, admin notices and general EN awesomeness. Whether you're a veteran EN member or newbie, this is the magic of training with the team. We will keep each other motivated, have a place to talk about your daily training ups and downs, get questions answered, answer fellow teammates questions and make some friends along the way. The more everyone participates the more everyone will crush this race the Endurance Nation way!
Make sure to watch the videos, podcasts and blogs that are attached to each week of training on the website. They are located on the right side of the your training page. CHECK THEM OUT! Maybe listen to them as you stretch, roll or recover or as you fuel up for a workout.
I will post highlights weekly. This week we Coach Rich talks about the importance of the long ride and data tracking. Get to know yourself and what your needs are during these long rides. Track EVERYTHING!! The difference between a successful execution and an unsuccessful one is knowing what you need to execute.
So ROLL CALL! Who’s doing IM CDA?? Introduce yourself- let us know where you are from? Is this your first IM? Anything you wanna share about yourself. Because WE ARE A TEAM and we want to support each other the best we can. So now let’s hear it, make some noise.... Any questions for the team?
On your mark.... get set.... GO!

My name is Dave Legg and I am doing CDA this year. I live in Ennis MT a small town of about 800 in between Bozeman and West Yellowstone MT. This will be my first Ironman in 29 years with the last one being Ironman Canada in 1988. Turn 60 this year and wanted to try one again and looking foreword to it. New to EN this year and have enjoyed being on the team. Thank you for doing this page
M y name is Sid Wavrin. I'm from Mabton, WA in the lower Yakima Valley. I'm new to training inside EN, but have raced at CDA a couple of times. It looks like we are doing the last 140.6 They will host. I'm glad I decided to do it! I'm looking forward to joining fellow EN athletes for great day. Happy training!
